Sawyer Mini Filter - looks good!

Post by Dan_K »

Think this could be a good replacement for my Travel Tap. Liked the idea of the travel tap but in reality, find it leaks when you squeeze the bottle. It's ok to drink out of but pretty useless for filling a pan etc.
This could be a on my list:

Any thoughts?

If I remember rightly, this doesn't do the most thorough filter job in the world, it would probs be ok for fresh streams etc, but don't expect ultimate cover :D
(this is all going on a fairly vague memory, it might be wrong)

edit: Maybe I'm wrong, just read the blurb, sounds pretty comprehensive :D

I've got a mate in the states now and I asked him before he left to get me one. If he can't, I'll try to order one when he gets back.

I agree this looks good, please can someone post up here how they get on with it, particularly interested in real world times to filter say a litre.
Time would be better spent getting the miles in instead of fretting about how many ml of meths to carry...

My travel tap leaked when squeezing so I sent an email to Giles Butler of Drinksafe Systems. It is very important that the seal within the cap is seated properly, so all I did was to take it out, and re-insert it making sure it fits snugly. Bingo ! It doesn't leak anymore, so give that a go.

Well gave up trying to get it direct and went elsewhere. Hopefully I have it in time for the BB200 and I'll give it a run out then.
